The real question is, do you want a free CAT scan?


Not really.

I already had one and it was too boring of an experience.

As I recall, the IRS prohibits tax exempt organizations from engaging in partisan politics. Wonder if this priest's church needs to lose their tax free status, eh?

A couple friends hauled me into their church when Bush was running for office. One might have thought that a vote for ol' George was a vote for Jesus Christ himself to listen to their preacher tell it. I asked the preacher about their tax exempt status on the way out the door and waited for a lightning bolt to strike me dead in the parking lot for asking. Last time anybody got me to sit in the amen corner with them.

It was one of these churches where the women wear buns and never their hair or shave their legs. I suppose they are all Sarah Palin supporters this time around.

Sarah Palin's for abstinence, her daughter, mmmmm, not so much.


Hell yeah, lets' tax the church! Tax all of them, even the ones that don't engage in partisan politics.

"Obama must confess"

And once again the church tries to excercise authority over the state.

Actually I agree, it would get rid of people starting up their own churches just to avoid paying taxes.

You can file a complaint regarding the church's tax free status.

The "church" if it wants to give "guidance"...should give their moralising and wisdom to those who by their actions and greed have caused half the planet to suffer a bloody awful christmas due to unemployment and recession.

but they won't, the church will just carry on the same as it always does...looking out for itself...and as such, is no better than the robber barons that are screwing us all on wall st.

He's not the one who thinks they need it, you are.



Obama likes spreading the wealth of others, why not let someone else spread his wealth?

You do that, and all churches will suddenly find no problem politicizing from the pulpit. Heck, there wouldn't even be a reason for them not to send lobbyists to Washington. After all, if they're paying to keep the government running, then by all accounts they have a say in what goes on in the government.
